Lyrics
I don't know what to tell you
but your momma's drivin' me crazy
You ask me for the answer but I'm stupid and I'm lazy
What's wrong with these kids today
Half the world's on drugs or gay
I pick Junior up right after school
I asked him what did you learn today
A little readin' and writin' and arithmetic
He picked a fight and took his licks
So hard bringing kids up right when you're
Getting fucked up every night
I know you didn't ask for this so please excuse
my ignorance now Junior
I try to teach him right from wrong and then he
Learned the words to all of my songs
Some day he might be president
Or maybe something different
